Food waste reduction within the food system
Date: March 2018 - December 2018
Researcher: Dr Carrie Bradshaw
Dr Carrie Bradshaw has been working with the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) to identify and evaluate the evidence for a broad and innovative range of measures, to prevent food waste across the food supply chain. They have been looking at the food system as a whole, from farm-to-fork, and exploring the potential role of multiple actors, including law and policy makers, the food and farming industry, retailers, public institutions and consumers and households. This systematic review of food waste measures supports Parliamentary scrutiny of Government interventions to manage food waste, as well as longer-term strategic thinking surrounding food resource management and food security post-Brexit.
